CIYIC IMPROVEMENT
THREE GOOD CENTERS IN TOWNS
FROM WHICH TO WORK.
Pfatt Begin mt the Home Tarn Yea
Attention to School Batldlnga an
Gronada-l'rn-e Neatneaa at Railway
Depot NeTer Be Discouraged.
At Houston, Tex., the Post establish
ed a department of civic Improvement
under the title "The City Beautiful,"
and one number was given almost en
tirely to the report of the Second ward
division of the Houston club In order
to show what has been accomplished by
a handful of earnest and painstaking
women In Improving one ward of the
city. As Mrs. William Christian, one
of the members of the advisory board
of the American Civic association, who
was appointed the head of this depart
ment of the Tost, said, "Whether the
actual amount of work attempted
chows a large or small balance of
physical results, efforts such as report
ed are arousing a greater civic pride
and daily developing a healthy public
nentlmcut that ere long will be able to
successfully grapple with many of our
municipal stumps."
Under the lead of Mrs. Christian, this
department of the Houston (Tex.) Post
began u series of answers to letters,
one of which answers Is as follows:
"Your letter says: 'Our club wishes
to take up some active civic work.
Where shall we begin? What shall we
do first r
"In our smaller towns there are gen
erally three good centers to work from,
first, begin ut home.
"Let each member of your club
pledge herself to look carefully over
her own premises and add some Im
provement within one week's time to
her home surroundings.
"This may take the form of a careful
cleaning up of the back yard or the
burning of the pile of debris thrown
Into the adjacent vacant lot. It may
mean placing a pot of ferns or gerani
ums on the front porch in summer, and
It may result In spading up the flower
beds and taking up weeds In the spring
and summer.
"If the condition of your town or
club does not make this beginning of
civic work sevm the appropriate one
turn your attention to the town
schools. Are the school buildings kept
In the most perfect order? Is an effi
cient Janitor employed? Are the
grounds littered with the refuse of
dally lunches? Perfect cleanliness Is
the first step toward progress. No, I
am mistaken; the first step Is to con
sult your school board or trustees and
never to antagonize them. Let them
see that you are not criticising their
methods, but, rather, deploring; your
own Indifference in the past to your
schools and their needs. Think out
what your schools lack In the 'way of
cleanliness and beauty and use your
utmost tactfulness to persuade the
board to supply those 'needs them
selves. 'If your homes and schools represent
Ideal conditions turn your attention to
the railway station. 'Tis tbe link
which binds you to the outside world,
and the portion of this world which
whirls by your door gains Its first Im
pressions of your progress and civic
pride from your depot environments.
Railway corporations are rapidly com
ing to recognize the good business pol
icy of a neatly kept station, with a
pretty parkllke lnclosure on one side.
It Is refreshing to the passing travel
er's senses, and it Impresses the alight
ing passenger with the thought 'the
people of this town are certainly up to
date. They must have got a hustle on
themselves.' So be comes with a pleas
ant feeling Into your midst and goes
forth to advertise you.
"In many cases a request from your
club, backed by the citizens, to the rail
way company will lead them to make
all these improvements at their own
expense. One more thought in regard
to your station. Place a box or rack
In the waiting room and contribute to
It your old magazines and periodicals
for tbe use of the public waiting for
the train. It will make the parting Im
pressions f your town kindly ones,
and you cannot estimate the wide
spread Influence of this neighborly ac
tion. "With these hints and tlit original,
suggestions that will arise from them,
I think you -an utilize a great amount
of enthusiasm on the part of your club.
One parting word never be discour
aged. Just think when the work gets
hard of bow much good it will do. I
think If we have an abiding faith In
the work we are striving to push we
have a consolation for every discour
agement. You remember 'Bill' says,
'Thrice Is he armed that bath bis quar
rel Just,' and whether they do anything
or not the whole world admits tbe Just
ness of working for civic betterment''
Sewera In Small Towaa.
Roadside trees are a decided factor
In tbe Improvement of a landscape but
In practice they have been found to
work injuriously In California, as they
iroved destructive to the sewers, says
the Sat Francisco Chronicle. In San
Mateo the planting of eucalyptus trees
by the roadside has been prohibited,
but those panted within private grounds
send out such long roots that this pre
caution has proved useless. The town
of San Mateo annually cleans oat the
sewer by running a strip of 'wood
through and following that up with a
rope and then a steel brush, which is
made at a cost of about $25 and which
lasts about one year. Other towns In
California have been obliged to adopt
similar or other methods to keep their
sewers from choking, and the question
Is befng raised whether the sanitary or
the aesthetic consideration should gov
ern In matters of this kind.
Walk II You Wars Somebody.
Never allow your physical stan
dard to drop. Keep up your energy,
walk as if you were somebody and
were going to do something worth
while in this woild, so that even a
stranger may note your bearing and
mark your superiorty. If you have
fallen into a habit of walking in a
listless, indolent way, turn right
about face at once and make a
change. You don't want to shuffle
